36: Chapter 36 I've Been Targeted by a Tigress, and the White Tiger Hall Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect Makes His Move

"I don't know what the Saintess sees in you! You're practically a block of wood!"

"Since you're so afraid of your wife, hurry up and go to the next stage to meet your death!"

Fu Xinyun waved her hand, dispelling the Pink Powder Formation.

Although she was scolding him, a flicker of admiration flashed in her eyes.

Although the Heavenly Demon Sect was a demonic sect, it valued character above all else.

To be able to hold onto his original intent in the face of such temptation—this son-in-law really had something to him.

"Alright! Many thanks for your grace, Hall Master!"

Ye Xiu felt as if he had been granted an amnesty, and he scurried out of the Brothel Hall in a flash.

No joke!

If he stayed any longer, in case his [Vigorous Dragon and Fierce Tiger] passive skill couldn't suppress his fire, it would truly turn into a live-streaming accident!

"Phew... that was close, that was close."

Once outside, Ye Xiu wiped away a cold sweat.

"How is this trial of the Heavenly Demon Sect more tiring than fighting?"

However, before he could even catch his breath.

The path ahead suddenly turned gloomy.

Even before stepping through the door, Ye Xiu felt a chill.

It wasn't the kind of eerie ghostly aura, but a hair-raising sense of crisis, as if being targeted by some top-tier predator.

This great hall was excessively empty; there were no tables, chairs, or decorations, only a few bare stone pillars.

Under the dim light, the air seemed to have solidified, so quiet that he could only hear his own heartbeat.

"You didn't have the heart to make a Move back in the Brothel Hall?"

A cold, husky, yet magnetically alluring female voice rang out abruptly from above the great hall.

Ye Xiu looked up sharply.

He saw a woman wearing tight white clothing crouching on the rafters of the hall.

She had an excellent figure, and that specially made combat outfit outlined her explosive muscle lines vividly.

Especially those long, powerful legs, full of wild beauty.

But what was most heart-palpitating was her gaze.

It was a pair of amber beast pupils, devoid of any human emotion, possessing only the coldness and greed of a predator eyeing its prey.

She was the Heavenly Demon Sect's White Tiger Hall Master.

Bai Li.

"I have taken a liking to you."

Bai Li licked her lips, her figure pressing down slightly, like a tigress ready to pounce.

"In your body, there hides a sharp metal aura that fascinates me... Turning you into my specimen would surely be beautiful."

"A specimen?"

Ye Xiu's mouth twitched, and his hand pressed onto the hilt of his sword.

"Big sister, can we use a more auspicious word? For example... a bandit's husband?"

"That's something only a vixen like Fu Xinyun would think of."

Bai Li sneered, "I only like... tearing prey to shreds!"

Swish!

Before she even finished speaking, her figure vanished into thin air.

"Cat's Walk, Tiger's Steps!"

Ye Xiu's pupils constricted.

This woman's speed was ridiculously fast, and what was eerie was that she wasn't flying, but running through the air!

Her body was as soft as if it had no bones, twisting and shifting in mid-air within the hall.

At times hanging upside down from the roof, at times standing sideways on the wall, and there were even a few times when Ye Xiu clearly saw there was nothing beneath her feet.

Yet she was able to borrow force and change direction as if walking on flat ground!

"No! There's something in the air!"

Possessing battle instincts, Ye Xiu became instantly alert.

Chi!

A soft sound.

A strand of hair beside Ye Xiu's cheek broke without warning and drifted to the ground.

If he had been off by even half an inch, what would have fallen off was his ear!

"Origin Qi Silk Sword!"

Only then did Ye Xiu finally sense it.

This seemingly empty great hall was already filled with dense, countless traps!

Bai Li had refined her own Origin Qi into transparent threads as thin as hair but tougher than steel wire.

These threads crisscrossed, filling the entire space, impossible to distinguish with the naked eye!

This was the secret to how she could "walk through the air"—she was actually standing on these deadly threads the whole time!

"You realized it? Too late."

Bai Li's figure appeared behind Ye Xiu like a ghost, her feet hooked upside down onto an Origin Qi thread, her whole body hanging down.

She extended her ten fingers, sharp, cold light flickering at her fingertips.

"Origin Qi Soft Sword!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Ten soft swords condensed from Origin Qi shot out from her fingertips.

These soft swords were different from ordinary Sword Qi; they seemed to have a life of their own, bending and twisting eerily in the air.

They bypassed the demon slaying sword in Ye Xiu's hand and stabbed at his vital points from extremely tricky angles!

"A good Move!"

Ye Xiu had to exclaim in admiration.

The Heavenly Demon Sect was indeed full of hidden talents; this woman's Moves were sinister and ruthless.

If it were an ordinary expert, they would probably have been sliced into minced meat before even seeing her.

But unfortunately, she was an expert at playing with "Metal," while Ye Xiu was the ancestor of "Metal"!

"Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Steps!"

The footwork under Ye Xiu became illusory and staggered, weaving through the airtight "web" to the limit.

He narrowly avoided the strangulation of that round of soft swords.

"Dodging? Let's see how far you can dodge!"

Cold light flared in Bai Li's eyes, and she flicked her ten fingers repeatedly; the surrounding Origin Qi web began to shrink rapidly, intending to strangle Ye Xiu to death.

"Dodging?"

Ye Xiu stopped his footsteps, standing in the center of the encirclement of countless deadly threads.

He suddenly untied the wine gourd from his waist, took a swig, and then sprayed it violently toward the Void Realm in front of him!

"Pfft—!"

A mist of wine sprayed out across the sky.

In the previously transparent and invisible air, thousands of crystal-clear threads were instantly revealed!

With the wine mist clinging to them, that lethal "spider web" had nowhere to hide!

"What?!"

Bai Li's expression changed; her trap had been seen through!

"Playing with threads? Playing with bondage?"

Ye Xiu grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Big sister, your hobbies are quite unique. However..."

"Boom!"

The Lung Divine Treasury inside Ye Xiu roared, and the White Tiger Geng Metal Qi erupted fully!

Behind him, a massive phantom of a Geng Metal White Tiger emerged, letting out a roar that shook the mountains and rivers!

"You are called the White Tiger Hall Master? What a coincidence, this big cat I raise is also called White Tiger!"

"But it's a male, specialized in dealing with tigresses!"

"Geng Metal · White Tiger Heaven-Tearing Claw!"

Ye Xiu didn't use his sword; instead, he formed his hands into claws, imbued with Geng Metal Qi capable of cutting gold and breaking jade.

He tore fiercely at the Origin Qi web shrinking in front of him!

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!

Teeth-gritting snapping sounds rang out like a barrage of gunfire!

Those incredibly tough Origin Qi threads, which could even cut through Spiritual Artifacts.

In front of Ye Xiu's pure and domineering Geng Metal Qi, they were like fragile musical strings, instantly torn to shreds!

"How is this possible! My Origin Qi threads..."

Bai Li let out a miserable scream.

These threads were connected to her mind; as they snapped, she suffered a huge backlash.

Her feet lost their footing, losing the point of leverage, and she fell from mid-air.

However, before she could land.

A figure had already appeared in front of her.

Ye Xiu reached out with one hand; he didn't kill her, but instead precisely gripped her throat.

Pinning this hot-bodied "tigress" firmly against the stone pillar of the great hall!

"Ugh!"

Bai Li widened her eyes; in those beast pupils that were originally full of wildness, there was now finally a hint of terror.

Even though she was restrained, her elastic, beautiful body remained tense, like a leopard unwilling to admit defeat.

"Nice figure, it's a pity you're too fierce."

Ye Xiu leaned close to her face, looking at those unruly eyes, and said teasingly.

"Remember for the future, in front of your Sect Master, keep your claws retracted."

"Be a good cat, understand?"
